    Cartooning Anthropocene

    Sea Pollution

    1 / 15

    Exercise Title: Cartooning the Anthropocene 

    Description: 

    The Anthropocene is a term used to describe the current time period in Earth's history, starting when human activities began to significantly impact our world's environment and climate. 

    It reflects how human activities, such as deforestation, urbanization, and pollution, are leaving an indelible mark on our planet. 

    Think of it as the age where humans have become a major force reshaping the planet, from changing landscapes due to deforestation and urbanization, to causing climate change through pollution. The term helps underline the responsibility we have to protect and care for our planet.

    Instructions:You will choose one environmental problem of interest, and create a visual representation to be shared with your classmates. You will use this as part of your final project topic.

    Questions to respond to sketch the issue: 

      • What issue did your team investigate? 
      • What are the root causes of this issue? 
      • What are the effects of this issue? On humans, plants, animals, the environment?
      • Sketch the issues the team you investigate 

    Deliverables: Post your sketch presentation in the Response Tab of the Environmental Research Assignment.

    Notes: Additional base research material for each topic has been posted under the Precedents Tab of this assignment. These videos are intended as brief introductions only: your team will need to dig much deeper and find additional materials in order to complete the research presentations.

    Earth Rescue Missions

    Earth Rescue Missions

    1 / 12

    Description

    We will create montages using photo editing software (or physically by cutting and pasting) of a future world. Imagining either a utopia or dystopia and describe how we arrived at this future. 

    Instructions  

    Use Photoshop to generate a Fictional Future World. 

    Start with a blank canvas with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 or greater. 

    Place each element on a separate Photoshop layer

    Use high resolutions (large pixel count) images to build your montage

    Consider perspective, color, brightness, and scale

    Try multiple different options to determine which best tells your narrative

    Deliverables

    Create a post to showcase your image montage of a future fictional world. 

    Write a description to explain the world and how it became that way.
